this is bad II

Johnny Thunders & Patti Palladin (do it) 'Crawfish'

August: 22nd

In the afternoon, Patti Palladin and Johnny rehearse their duet 'Crawfish' together with Jerry, Billy and Only One's guitarist John Perry at 313 Studios, Holloway. An interview of Johnny is filmed there for the Jungle video, the camera later captures them at the Marquee with 'Sad Vacation' making it onto the final film. Many years later all six tracks filmed at the Marquee appear on the DVD of the Jungle 3-disc set 'Down To Kill'.

September:

13th: The final mix is 'Blame It On Mom' from the Tin Pan Alley sessions, which together with 'Tie Me Up' from Patti's 'Crawfish' b-side makes the album full-length. 'Talk About Me' is left as an outake.

October:
Johnny is back in Stockholm, eager to be on his best behaviour to please Susanne. An American tour is being booked by US agent Dean Brownrout. After most of the dates are booked in, Johnny 'crushes his hands in a car door' and postpones them. Some speculate that the real reason is that he's anxious to stay with Susanne for a while and live a quiet domestic life.
28th: 'Crawfish', the single recorded by Patti and Johnny is released on Jungle. Patti's deal with London has collapsed, so the tapes are sold to us. It gets good reviews and reaches the top 5 of the UK indie charts.

A T.J. Hooker event! VIDEO + (mp3 from episode 2.13 "Deadly Ambition" Jerry Lee Lewis)

"Whole Lotta Shakin" (Jerry Lee Lewis)	2.56	2.6MB
from episode 2.13 "Deadly Ambition"
The Killer himself, Jerry Lee Lewis, performs one of his greatest hits while Hooker, Romano, Stacy and some hangers-on watch and talk amongst themselves in one of Hooker's finest uses of source music (i.e. music whose "source" appears on-screen). THE POWER. The Majesty. The Glory that is T.J. Hooker...now yours for the viewing. SEASON TWO OPENING TITLES: Early T.J. Hooker unleashed: Hooker on the wing of a plane. Hooker running through trees. Romano pirouetting up a chain-link fence. Stacy's coy glances. Stoic Captain Sheridan. SEASON THREE OPENING TITLES: Middle-period Hooker at its best; Hooker sliding on ice. Romano with a shotgun. Stacy's finger-snapping exotic dance routine, and Jim Corrigan. Not to mention those classy titles done up in fancy block letters containing flashing police lights. Beautiful. Just beautiful. SEASON FOUR OPENING TITLES: A slight downturn in quality. Gone is the fancy police-light typeface, replaced with a bland yellow Goudy. Perhaps the series' typography was meant to convey a more somber tone with the impending departure of Vince Romano, as season four ended with Hooker transferred to Chicago, wiping the slate clean for a possible fresh start on ANBC. But it was not to be... SEASON FIVE OPENING TITLES: The downturn in quality plummets into a canyon of mediocrity as Vince Romano is excised from the opening credits in lieu of more footage of Stacy undercover as a prostitute. Even that wasn't enough to keep this last-ditch late night season on CBS on the air past a single season, and alas, Hooker was gone for good. TJ-HOOKER.COM EXCLUSIVE : SNL T.J. HOOKER SKETCH (8.0MB Quicktime movie) William Shatner appears as Hooker in a Saturday Night Live sketch from 1987. Altho it loses points for inaccuracy (Romano is called "Vinnie", Hooker lives in San Francisco, etc.) it features a nice parody of Shatner's hood-jumping. With appearances by Dana Carvey as Romano & Victoria Jackson as Stacy.
